mingw32 recipe for artistic style (astyle)

seasoned_geek · 03-16-2020, 07:42 PM

On a 64-bit Windows 10 VM I installed GNU Emacs from here:
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/
This appears to have installed mingw32. Fine.

The MinGW Installation Manager does not show any astyle package. Surfing the Web turns up mingw-w64 recipe for astyle.

https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages

Can someone point me to the link I need to get/build the correct astyle package for the default Emacs on Windows 10 universe? I want to use astyle from within Emacs on Windows 10 just like on YABU. Yes, the .el file has already been located, just need to get correct binary.

Thanks,

Not the answer, but for things like ediff I had to find the tools which the ediff used which were in a specific library and then added that library to my cygwin install. So I'd say the same thing, you need to figure out what tools and libraries are needed to run astyle and then make sure those are included, as well as the binaries, in your environment.
